My LO is 3 and a half and previously attended 2 x nursery settings with no problems.
When he turned 3 I moved him to another setting to help with school readiness and within 3 months he became unrecognisable at the setting to what he is at home/had been at previous settings: throwing, hitting, bitting, causing damage.
I took him out and returned him to a previous setting he had been happy at but he never re-settled and after just 3 days there, after throwing a huge tantrum and destroying furniture shortly after dropping him off, I am without any childcare for him and at a complete loss as to how to support him. He’s such a loving, helpful, friendly boy at home!
He tells me that he just wants to be with me which melts my heart but in the long term, I need to work full time as I am the sole earner plus he will need to attend compulsory education next year.
I’m meeting with a childminder next week to see if a smaller, more homely setting would suit him.
Anyone else experienced this Jekyll/Hyde situation? Any other advice on how to support him welcome!!
